Total War: Warhammer is getting its first in-engine trailer this week, and The Creative Assembly has elected to whet our appetite by showing off a few assets ahead of time.

This video focuses on the Demigryph, a kind of elite cavalry unit.

“Part lion and part eagle, these noble monstrous cavalry are ridden by only the most renowned knights of the Empire. Clad in ornate plate armour, their densely muscled frames enable them to thunder into combat, tearing their foes limb from limb and spreading fear among the enemy ranks.”

Having spent umpteen years lovingly crafting historically accurate belt buckles and what not it must be something of a relief to cut loose with fantasy elements – although the team is no doubt trying to be as faithful as possible to Games Workshop source materials.

A new Total War: Warhammer teaser aired during the E3 2015 PC Gaming Show.

Total War: Warhammer, the first entry in the series to feature a fantasy setting, was revealed back in April, showing only a CGI trailer.

Though we’re still waiting to see proper gameplay, a few screenshots have popped up online from a number of press outlets that were invited to play a demo.

The Creative Assembly said the tools will be “immediately familiar” to modders of Rome 2 and Shogun 2, but the new version is the most “extensive” Assembly Kit yet.

It contains the following tools:

DaVE: enables editing of the game’s database entries.

BOB: enables processing of raw data such as textures, models and animations.

TeD: enables the creation of individual battlefields for land, sea and sieges.

The game will contain “gigantic monsters, flying creatures, legendary heroes and storms of magical power.” It is also the first in a trilogy which includes two additional standalone titles and extra content packs.

It will feature thousands of warriors on the battlefield participating in real-time tactical battles, which the player will command.

Here’s a synopsis:

In the turn-based campaign game of statecraft & empire building, you will find the Old World an unforgiving and treacherous place, filled with endless war and cunning alliances alike. Whichever race you choose to play as and however you seek conquest, you will be faced with a conflict that threatens to tear the very fabric of reality asunder.

Total War: Warhammer is in development for PC, Mac and SteamOs and is “coming soon”.

Total War Battles: Kingdom has been in limited closed beta since it was announced in December 2014, and Mac and tablet versions will be released later this year. Users will be able to continue their campaign across multiple devices.

Each unit contains the Guerrilla Deployment trait, and a play style focused on raiding, looting and sacking.

All three factions contain unique traits, but share the same cultural traits which increase their income from these activities.

Here’s what’s included:

• Celtic forces specialise in ambush tactics and ‘Guerrilla Deployment’.
• New Celtic roster with unique new units for each faction.
• New Prestige Buildings, requiring great feats to unlock.
• New unique raiding building chain and Celtic-themed technologies.
• Bespoke Celtic generals’ skill trees.
• Unique narrative event chain: Cycle of the Ollam Ri, and new Celtic missions for each faction.

Naturally our thoughts turned to Alien: Isolation 2 when we heard the Creative Assembly is recruiting for another big game.

According to a new recruiting ad, the Creative Assembly has “another multi-platform AAA blockbuster” on the go.

The game will have “a range of online features”, hence the need for an online and multiplayer programmer, and will apparently release on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

It could also be something entirely new, of course. Although it has stuck to pure strategy for many years now, the Creative Assembly did a bang-up job of first-person horror with Alien: Isolation, so we’re excited to see whatever it does next, whether it falls in its usual wheelhouse or not.

Given this talk of multiplayer, I’d almost be happier to see Isolation left as a stand-alone release, really.

There have been 11 Total War games so far including console and mobile releases, kicking off in 2000 with Shogun: Total War. The Creative Assembly has wandered back and forth across 2,000 years of historyover the past decade and a half.

The developer estimates 4.8 billion battles have been waged in its strategy sims, with over 1 million players each month, clocking up an average of 104 hours on each game before they’re done.

2015 will be Total War’s biggest year yet, Sega said, what with digital and tablet title Total War Battles: Kingdom, 10v10 team strategy in Total War: Arena – and more, apparently.

The trailer below is said to hint at the future of the franchise, and we may learn more after EGX Rezzed this weekend.

The Total War series spans 11 titles with over 2,000 years of worth of historical warfare.

According to stats released, over 1 million people play Total War monthly, each having played over 104 hours on average in each title.

Upcoming games from Creative Assembly in the series include Total War Battles: Kingdom, the 10v10 team strategy title Total War: ARENA, and the video even teases Total War: Warhammer around the 2:34 mark.

The team will be on-hand at EGX Rezzed this weekend with Attila and Kingdoms playable.

The first release of The Elder Scrolls: Total War dropped on the weekend, giving players their first chance to try out LoRdNazgu1‘s creation.

This version runs from 3E 427 to 4E 45, so includes the events of Morrowind and Oblivion as well as the intermittent period, which includes events not shown in any of the The Elder Scrolls games.

Although it boasts a great deal of content the mod is in the very early stages, so later updates will bring unique architecture and troops and more events, among other details. The team hope to eventually encompass events of Daggerfall and Skyrim.

Check out the mod for yourself on ModDB. If you don’t own the base game, Medieval 2: Total War: Kingdoms, it’s $10 on Steam.

Total War: Attila is now available via Steam. The latest strategy effort from the Creative Assembly, it follows on naturally from Rome 2 in that it is set around the fall of the Roman Empire.

Also it has had some really rad trailers. This launch trailer can’t quite to live up to the Horse series.

The Hun faction can perform ranged attacks at high speed, thanks to being able to cover the ground amazingly fast.

This is all thanks to their super horses, which being low to the ground (lower than a quarter horse), allowed them to cover distances in a more breakneck pace than equines with longer legs – like a thoroughbred for instance.

In the latest episode of Rally Point, developer Creative Assembly takes a look at one of the nine historical battles that will be included in Total War: Attila when it launches next month. But before you see the battle, you can list to Simon Mann, one of the designers, list five of the hardest challenges you’ll face in the game.

The developer promises historical battles to be more dynamic than in previous Total War games.

Total War: Warhammer has been revealed to be the next game from Sega and The Creative Assembly.

The game was not officially announced, but was rather mentioned in an art book for the studio. The art book was supposed to start shipping by the end of the month, but one fan got a hold of a copy early and found a reference to the game.

As you can see in the image above, the book has an interview with Mike Simpson discussing the future of the series, before revealing that the team is in fact working on a Warhammer Total War game. Of course everyone predicted this would happen ever since we heard the news of Sega securing the license from Games Workshop all the way back in 2012.

Combining realm-building with large-scale tactical battles, players will find themselves managing the needs of their own fiefdom as they marshal formidable armies with which to duel against neighbouring kingdoms. Ultimately, players will be able to join in massed multiplayer wars against other lords in a fight for the throne. Deception, spying and outright betrayal against enemies and friends alike will see the devious player rewarded.”

The game is listed as “coming soon” for Mac, PC and tablets.

Happily, Sega sent some cliff notes for those of us a little hazy on the fall of the Roman Empire; this trailer shows the Sassanid Empire taking advantage of crumbling Roman control.

If this one doesn’t do it for you, check out the White Horse trailer, which is even better. Come on HBO, make this shizzle happen. The world needs more intense historical dramas.

In a press release sent earlier, publisher Sega announced that Total War: Attila will be released February 17 worldwide.

The publisher has also revealed the game’s Special Edition. Here’s what you;ll be getting when you buy it:

Yes. As in Attila the Hun and his one million horsemen. The ultimate warrior from the East and leader of the Hunnic Empire, his reign stretched from the Ural River to the Rhine River and from the Danube River to the Baltic Sea.

While he was successful in plundering the Balkans, he was never able to take Constantinople, and his attempt to take over Roman Gaul was thwarted despite marching as far as Aurelianum.

He was defeated at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains, but didn’t let it sway him: he set his eyes upon Rome after invading the northern Providences of Italy; however, he died before he could take on Rome.

Total War: Attila will be challenging, as the game is designed for “Total War veterans.”

“Diseases were a key feature of the period,” said communications manager Al Bickham. “We’ve decoupled the squalor/sanitation balance that we had in Rome 2 from public order. It’s now directly related to the health of your city. If you don’t keep a city clean, it may suffer disease.”

Such maladies will spread during sieges, by friendly armies, by enemy armies or and even along trade routes. Your city populations will decline, and your sick soldiers will not fight very well.

A new region overlay has been added and provides the player with details such as “region wealth and also religious disposition.”

The family tree, a feature not included in Rome 2 – which fans lamented – has been brought back. This will allow players to manage their armies, friends and fellow Romans as well as increase their standing.

A new weapon in the form of dynamic fire has been added, allowing buildings to burn and fire to spread.

The game is currently in development and expected sometime next year.
